Fire in the house! The meaning of the hearth in the interior.

Fire is so destructive and so beautiful. Fire is the phenomenon that they say that you can look at it endlessly. The fire in the "hearth" in the house, undoubtedly, adds comfort and gathers the whole family around it.

Fire in the house has long been a necessity. All family members really gathered around him in order to keep warm. The fire in the cave, the stove in the hut, the fireplace in the house - this was necessary, important and symbolic. If the fire in the hearth goes out, then the whole family will freeze. Therefore, the role of a woman is so important - the keeper of the hearth. In the modern world, the function of fire in the house has changed. But the psychological, energetic and aesthetic role is still great. I want to speculate a little about this.

Nowadays, fireplaces are not used for heating, but for other purposes.

At first, a large fireplace with real fire is a luxury, a sign of wealth. He emphasizes the solidity of the owner of the house, because installing a fireplace isn't cheap at all.

Secondly, modern fireplaces perform mainly an aesthetic function. A fireplace is always beautiful, warm and cozy, whatever it is - electric or stone with an open fire.

Thirdly, the fireplace is a traditional hearth - the "heart" of the house. Subconsciously, people associate the hearth, and therefore the fireplace, with reliability, warmth and comfort. The fire burning in the fireplace creates an atmosphere of calmness, relieves fatigue and charges with special positive energy. The sight of fire fascinates and disposes a person to meditation, helps to put thoughts and feelings in order.

But Feng Shui does not speak well of fireplaces. These are stone fireplaces with a chimney. It is believed that the fireplace provokes a leak of energy from the sector where it is installed (sectors of wealth, health, etc.). Mirrors that will reflect and return energy will help protect the energy of the house. An important rule is that you cannot install a fireplace opposite the front door! Otherwise, all incoming positive energy will simply evaporate through the chimney.

From the side esoterics, fire is that important weapon that gets rid of evil spirits and demons. That is, fire protects us from otherworldly forces. And magicians, unlike specialists in Feng Shui, consider the chimney pipe to be an entrance for positive energy.

The science it also says that the positive effect of fire on people was laid for millennia. Flickering light, crackling sound, foggy smoke, extraordinary warmth and anxious expectation of a delicious dinner - these are the associations that are inherent in us by evolution. Fire works great with our subconscious mind and has a positive effect on our well-being.

You can become a believer in any of these opinions. But personally, I believe that you need to live the way you feel. And if a fireplace in the house is an old dream, it must definitely come true. But just in case, put it away from the front door.
